This works. It fades the label to invisibility. label.alpha = 1.0; [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:2.5]; label.alpha = 0; [UIView commitAnimations];
and so does this, label.alpha = 1.0; [UIView animateWithDuration:2.5 animations:^{label.alpha = 0.0;} ]; The documentation says the latter is now preferred and does the same thing as the former. In particular, both will start a separate thread for the animation. My problem is that the second method seems to block the main thread. While it is acting I cannot use any of the controls on the screen. The first method lets me do what I wish as it proceeds. Anyone have advice? thanks, David _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
